A field of over 30 parents and pupils took to the challenging links of Burnham and Berrow channel course. After the perfect conditions of last year the course showed its teeth with its normal strong wind coming off the Severn estuary.

Despite the testing conditions scoring was excellent. Justin and Dan Witherall won the title with 24 points with Dan also winning the best pupil award with an outstanding score of 22 points.

Best adult went to 1 handicapper Nick Gould with a brilliant 18 points. Nick also hit a monster drive down the second to win longest drive. Just as it looked as though Nick would take a clean sweep, in the last group of the day, Henry Williams hit a delightful tee shot on the difficult par 3, 8th hole to take the nearest to the pin prize.

The most improved pupil of the year award was shared between Dan Witherall and Jacob McGurl.

This capped off a great day marking the start of the school sports season. Many thanks go to Burnham and Berrow Golf Club and our PGA professional Shane Kaye.
